I Have A Dream Too

Two scores and thirteen years ago, a wise American, wrote a speech, “I Have a Dream”. Those of you that were in attendance, on this
amazing day; standing at the feet of a great man, with similar goals; of
freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; thank you. Your presence allowed his speech to reach
heights, never imagine. As he stated in
the “I Have a Dream” speech, it has become a “beacon light of hope” to millions
of American’s, not just Negros. Seven
scores and thirteen years ago, Gettysburg, Virginia was addressed by, one of
our leaders. In that moment he demanded
an ear, he expected more from us and required more. He dedicated his life to making a difference
and became a target, when he asked America to be the nation our forefathers
created. Two scores and fifth teen years
ago, America’s favorite president gave a speech, at his inaugural ceremony,
which still reigns true in some ways. He
asked that we not abuse our land; he asked us to stand up for right and
defend liberty and justice. He warned us
of dangers lurking in the government and its surroundings. He made us all feel equal and liberated,
through his words.

The sad part is that after 142 years,
America has not changed. President
Lincoln, asked us not to divide as a nation.President John F Kennedy, warned us about the evils in our
government.He warned us to prepare for
equality because a day will come when the next or future generation, revolts
for a new revolution.Martin Luther King
Jr. gave us the faith and the tools required to emerge ourselves in true
happiness and peace.He told us, “…not
to seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of
bitterness and hatred.We must forever
conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline…”Today, I have a dream, a dream that demands
action, a dream that branchs from all parts of our ever-changing culture and
society, a dream bigger than you, President Lincoln, JFK, MLK, and/or me.I ask that we take the, “I Have a Dream
Pledge.”Pledge to dream big, pledge to
make a change where you are, pledge to be better than our ancestors.

I have a dream, that one day we will allow our forefathers
dreams

to FINALLY become a reality

I have a dream, that one day America will no longer hold
hostage,

countries for their beliefs and values.

I have a dream, that one day we will unite, in the fight for
freedom

and equality instead of pondering on those problems, which divide

us
and bares no importance to change or peace,

I have a dream, that one day we will no longer react or
negotiate

out of anger or fear.However,
no longer be afraid to react or

negotiate,

I have a dream, that one day we will live in a nation that
does not

judge people on their, religion, skin color, life-style or

disadvantage but by the “content of their character”

I have a dream, that one day we will have a rebirth of a new

nation, based on principles of freedom—with a government of the people, by the
people and for the people”

I have a dream, that we combine our faith and share it with
one

another.Therefore, we can STAND
together, pray together, fight

together, and sing together, knowing that
equality and freedom will

reign,

Finally, I ask my brother’s and
sister’s, of this great nation--black, white, brown and tan, since we have not
truly accomplished those tasks required by our fore fathers or these great men
mentioned above; do not ask what America can do for us, but demand of ourselves
to join and win the fight for freedom of man.I ask that we dedicate ourselves to the treacherous task remaining.That we assure those who joined the fights of
the Revolutionary, Civil, and the current Equality war, did not die in
vain.The demand for equality will
continue to shake the foundation of this great nation until the fat “lady of
liberty” sings out for justice and freedom emerges.

Top Five Highlights

Woke up one day and realized life was happening to me or around me. I decided at that moment I either take control of my life and make this experience one to remember or at the least worth living, or give up.
